crimsunmicahcowan: If you just provide the diff, you'll need to attach a sign-off, too.12:21
micahcowanFrom whom do I get that? And, if it's already been approved upstream (it hasn't, because I haven't tested yet, but it's light changes, fairly trivial)?12:22
micahcowanI do have git-core installed, but have only used it for things like fetching latest kernel sources.12:23
crimsunif you wrote the patch, you provide the sign-off12:23
micahcowanA gpg signature against the patch, then?12:24
crimsunwhat do you mean by "it's already been approved upstream (it hasn't, because I haven't tested yet"?12:24
micahcowanWell, what I meant, thinking that you meant I needed to get a sign-off/approval from someone else, was, "what about the case where it has been approved upstream?", even though, at this moment, such is not the case. :)12:25
crimsunif it comes from upstream, you either need to attach the sign-off, or you need to explicitly mention it in the changeset commit entry.12:25
crimsuntake http://preview.tinyurl.com/3b6nqn for example.12:25
leonelis  there  a fast how to  to make  a .deb   from a  tar.gz ?12:26
crimsunin that example, the patch comes from upstream, so I mention the author (Takashi)12:26
crimsunleonel: see the Packaging Guide and the Debian New Maintainer's Guide12:26
leonelcrimsun: thanks   12:26
crimsunthe sign-off is required for any patch touching kernel source (Linus's policy to which we adhere)12:27
micahcowanI'm not familiar with that. Alrighty, then, assuming I've just got a vanilla patch, what would be the process I need to follow?12:28
micahcowan(a vanilla patch, and git-core :) )12:28
crimsunfirst, create a separate branch from master12:28
crimsunI'd run ``git pull'' while in master, first, to make sure you're current12:29
micahcowanAh. Well, I've only ever pulled from upstream. Where do I need to pull from to get Ubuntu's?12:29
crimsunthen you can ``git checkout -b your-branch''12:29

crimsunok, I think you'll want to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide , then.12:30
micahcowancrimsun, I need to actually clone the repository, then?12:31
crimsunyes.12:31

micahcowancrimsun, is git-update-index the equiv of "svn add", etc? I shouldn't need that, then: just mods of existing files.12:40
crimsunmicahcowan: no, -update-index marks modified files for commit.  git-commit actually commits.  You're thinking of git-add.12:41
micahcowanOkay. Guess I'm used to tools that do that in one step (the marking and committing).12:42
crimsunmicahcowan: the ~/0001-foo file is what you'll inlineto an email and send to kernel-team at lists dot ubuntu12:42

FujitsuI love people being over-protective of their trademarks.12:58

Fujitsuion3 upstream has said that nothing is allowed to be called ion3 unless it has no patches, and is the latest upstream version. Debian has complied (and so moved it to non-free).01:00

leonelcorrect me  if  I'm wrong  please 02:30
micahcowana kernel package build requires the abifile from the previous kernel. Where can I find that?02:31
leonelI need  a package from universe  but I need the  newest package,  and that package won't make to universe  and that's fine, but I need to install that  newest package.  IF  I  do not enable  universe and install that  newer package  it should not  break any thing  right ?02:32
LaserJockleonel: well, depending on the package, you should be fine with having universe enabled02:34
leonelLaserJock: let me be more specific   I need  the newest clamav on  Dapper  and  the newest clamav on dapper can break many things  If I  get clamav from feisty   and install it  on  Dapper  backported  of course  but I have nothing else from universe installed on dapper  nothing should get break   right ?02:35
leonellet me add puctuations ..02:36
Hobbseeyou may have trouble dist upgrading02:37
leonelLaserJock: let me be more specific. I need  the newest clamav on  Dapper,  and  the newest clamav on dapper can break many things on Dapper if I have universe enabled or packages from universe installed that requires Dapper's clamav.  If I  get clamav from feisty   and install it  on  Dapper  backported  of course,  but I have nothing else from universe installed on dapper  nothing should get break   right ?02:37
Hobbseebut it wont break while you're on dapper, no, due to the lack of updates02:37

=== Fujitsu recalls the gcl patch-hunt.

=== ScottK thinks we need to do something, but nothing has been decided.
LaserJockanybody been using VirtualBox?05:18
crimsunScottK: what is the current situation (including problems), and what do you propose?05:18
StevenKOne problem is that clamav doesn't shut up when it thinks it's out of date.05:22

leonelStevenK: yes  and for end users that message  gives them panic 05:42
leoneleven that for  clamav  I think  it's better to keep with the most recent version05:42
FujitsuIt'd be nice if ClamAV didn't write their software such that it was inappropriate for distributions.05:42
leonelmay be because  it's not version 1 yet ?05:43
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@ubuntu/member/freeflying] has joined #ubuntu-motu
StevenKleonel: I can't see ClamAV changing their procedures just because the version they happen to release is 1.005:45
leonelyou're right05:46
ScottKcrimsun: The problem is that the 0.882/4 variants we have in Dapper/Edgy are unmaintainable given our resources in Universe, but 0.90.2 cannot be backported per the regular backports policy because it breaks stuff.05:47
leonelyes I've tried that and was a no go05:47
ScottKActually the current 0.90.2-4 from Debian can't even be backported to Feisty (not that it's necessary).05:47
leonelwhat I was thinking was to have in producction servers  universe  disabled05:48
ScottKcrimsun: My proposal is to make a 2nd clamav source package05:48
leoneland  install from other  repo   the clamav and things backported  to dapper or  keep new  clamav  on the current  ubuntu version05:48
leonelso if there's no universe enabled  no packages would break  with the  newest  clamav 05:49
leonelbut that would be for  some  ubuntu antivirus servers only 05:49
ScottKcrimsun: It'd be design specifically to be backportable, but because it has a different name (I'm currently thinking clamav-alt) a user has to explicitly install it, not just have backports enabled.05:49
ScottKWe could then have a page on the wiki about what was known to break/needed testing and then admins could make informed decisions.05:50
leonelScottK: and can That clamav-alt  would be  updatable with new  tarballs  instead  patching ?05:50
ScottKleonel: No, but as long as we can keep backporting the lastest, it shouldn't matter.05:51
crimsunhmm.  Is there any way this work could be done in Debian?  Are we dealing with process issues as well?05:51
ScottKI don't think so.05:51
ScottKThey don't have so many supported versions.05:51
leonellike gentoo ...05:52
crimsunok.  So "clamav-alt" will then Conflicts clamav?05:52
ScottKleonel: If you install klamav on your desktop you can do that (it provides the functionality and I've tested it, but it's outside the packaging system).05:52
crimsunDo you plan to ask clamav to be blacklisted from future Ubuntu devel cycle autosyncs?05:52
ScottKcrimsun: Conflicts/Provides, yes05:52

=== zenrox [i=zenrox@pool-71-120-243-30.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
crimsunScottK: ok.  So do we plan to retain clamav source?05:53
ScottKcrimsun: We'd still do the regular clamav package that would be supported per the current no breakage policy.  Alt would be for those who want that latest AV crack.05:53
ScottKcrimsun: Not sure I understand the question?05:54
ScottKleonel: KDE GUI front end for clamav == klamav05:54
crimsunI think you answered it in your most recent statement05:54
ScottKOK05:54
ScottKThis still needs to get fleshed out of course, but that's the basic idea.05:54
leonelScottK: need help  to test it ?05:55
=== ScottK made a 0.90.1 clamav package that works on Dapper, just had to adjust some dependency verions - I think it's doable to have a clamav-alt.
ScottKleonel: Yes, when we have such a package.05:56
ScottKWe'll probably make a clamav crack test team or some such.05:56
leonelScottK: Ok I'm in to it    I need to keep with the latest clamav  and  would be great to make it available  for all users05:57
ScottKcrimsun: Comments?05:58
ScottKThe alternative is to carefully test all the clamav rdepends (and there are a bunch) and backport them all at the same time.  I think that blows the backports policy even worse.05:59
crimsunScottK: I think it's feasible, but you'll really want to test from Dapper (LTS) forward through Gutsy+1 (LTS).05:59
ScottKYes.05:59
=== ScottK has tested a 0.90.X package with Dapper, Edgy, and Feisty and got it working.
ScottKWhile I'm doing the current clamav merge, I'll see about doing a clamav-alt in parallel.  If I get something that seems reasonable, I'll upload it to REVU.06:02
ScottKNote that clamav-alt will have to go through NEW, so it'll be a while even after it's uploaded before it could be made available.06:03
ScottKleonel: Got a few minutes to run a test for me?06:08
ScottKleonel: If you have a Feisty desktop, see Bug #108612 and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2007-May/001646.html and comment on the bug if it works/doesn't for you.06:10

nixternalimbrandon: get it!08:23
LaserJockmicahcowan: really?08:23
nixternalit isn't like they will buy it from you, but they will either a) steal it, or b) sue the crap out of you, beat you up, then steal it08:23
micahcowanLaserJock, yup. Looks like it'll be approved upstream, but not yet in. And I haven't done the debdiff yet (today or tomorrow).08:23
crimsunbah, just use red.08:24
imbrandonnixternal, or give me a xbox360 LOL08:24
nixternalhaha08:24
micahcowanIt works because screen actually understands the "activate mouse" sequence, and ignores it for non-xterms, while passing it on to connected xterms.08:24
imbrandoni still have two other domain projects i need to finish up, i should finish the google clone tonight08:24
micahcowanCan't autodetect highlight-tracking, though, so it's xterm (as opposed to xterm2) by default.08:25

mjgumbleyHello MOTU, I'm new here but would like to get involved in packaging various Java applications - I'm reading through the Ubuntu packaging guide, but is there any documentation specifically on packaging Java apps?11:20
geserthere is a Debian java policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/11:21
persiamjgumbley: You'd probably do best to look at the packaging of a number of existing Java apps.  The best practices are still under development.11:22
crimsunthere's also #ubuntu-java.  vil, also an MOTU, is on that team, too.11:23
mjgumbleygeser, persia - many thanks. I was hoping to get freemind packaged, as I use it all the time on win32.  It's under https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/102755 - hopefully if most of the work has already been done for Debian, it wouldn't be too hard to take on as a "first job"11:24

affluxcan someone help me with the merge of "om"? It looks quite wierd to me... The old ubuntu package uses a different tarball than the two debian packages, it seems that the last merge was using the ubuntustudio package with *some* changes merged from debian. Now we have lots of differences in e.g. the .m4 files, package descriptions, copyright file, manpages etc.12:07
persiaafflux: What kind of help do you need?  Personally, for different sources, I tend to look at the diff between the last merged Debian version and the current Debian version, and pick appropriate bits of that to apply to Ubuntu.12:08
crimsunsacater: did you comment it out, or did you actually change it?12:09

crimsunif you want to start it manually, then just remove the symlink in /etc/rc2.d/12:11
sacaterno ya tell me..12:11
sacaternow*12:11
persiaafflux: It depends on the nature of the change.  For different orig sources, often that was due to an -0 upload in Ubuntu.  If you think moving closer to Debian is better, I recommend checking with the -0ubuntu1 uploader to see why they made the choices they did, and whether things can be dropped.  If the package has significant Ubuntu variation (rebranding, different behaviour, etc.), you probably just want to cherry-pick from Debian.12:11
crimsunsacater: you didn't mention that you wanted to start it manually, only that you wanted it to not start automatically.12:12
crimsunbelieve it or not, those are two separate use cases.12:12
sacatercrimsun: i want it, so that when i boot up, i get console only, and i startx and fluxbox from there12:12

sacaterLhademmor: #ubuntu-classroom12:29
micahcowanNo, I think this would be the right place to talk about motu school. #ubuntu-classroom would be where MOTU/School actually takes place.12:30
Lhademmorsacater: Thank you :)12:30
LhademmorOkay then... Does MOTU/Schoool still take place? The wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School seems very inactive..12:30
LhademmorAnd I won't go about this mentoringthing until I've studied the school a little more closely12:30
micahcowanAFAIK there haven't been recent sessions, but OTOH, a lot of the most important things have already been covered... perhaps they're looking for new subjects.12:31
micahcowanLhademmor, why? What has the one to do with the other?12:31
StevenKsacater: You need to be familiar with the under-lying tools, such as apt-get or aptitude.12:31
Lhademmormicahcowan: "It is not designed to teach you how to package. MOTU/School is the appropriate place for that." <-- So I guess that's where I start12:32
sacaterStevenK: i am familiar with them as in I use them on a regular basis12:32
Lhademmormicahcowan: Are there logs available?12:32
Lhademmornvm, I found them12:32
StevenKsacater: Then to upgrade to it, you edit your sources.list, replace feisty with gutsy, upgrade and pray.12:32
micahcowanGood :)12:32
micahcowanLhademmor, it's not designed to teach you packaging, perhaps, but I believe it is designed to guide you in your first attempts and challenges with packaging (otherwise, why would it be useful?).12:33
sacaterStevenK: whooo! no thanks12:33
sacaterStevenK: would it just offer me a distro upgrade12:33
Lhademmormicahcowan: Yep, I get it, and I'll try it out :)12:33
micahcowanBut yes, you should definitely go through the school sessions, and read the pertinent wiki and Debian docs that are referenced there, and then come back here for clarifications :)12:33
StevenKsacater: No, it would run off and do it if you ran aptitiude upgrade or aptitude dist-upgrade. Update-manager is a little more "I'd suggest you upgrade."12:34

persiaPriceChild: No, aside from licensing, and python, it eyeballs well for me.  Let me know if you have trouble getting access for the 64-bit build, and I'll prep a patch (my 64-bit patch for 2.3 doesn't apply :( )02:43
PriceChildOk cool... lets hope if I do get access to 64bit that I have half a clue what to do :P02:43

=== Topic (#ubuntu-motu): set by Adri2000 at Tue May 8 18:09:35 2007
Simon80if anyone is interested in my radical idea, I envision a simple system whereby you can maintain a non-redistributable package locally as if it were a regular, but it would be deployed in a repo format that only contains a diff, and no orig tarball11:32
Simon80a regular package*11:32
Simon80so the app to be written would be required to handle viewing repos, grabbing diffs and upstream binaries, and then building the package locally and installing it11:34
welshbyteSimon80: it's sort of already done, there are packages just containing scripts to download non-distributable software and run the installer11:34
Simon80yeah, but it's all done in the postinst and prerm scripts, which seems wrong to me11:35
Simon80it can be done in a way that leverages dpkg to manage the installation, with the script in debian/rules instead, but it isn't11:37
welshbyteSimon80: do you think it would encourage more people to make their software non-redistributable though?11:37
Simon80no, I don't11:38
Simon80there are linux distros other than debian11:38
Simon80gentoo already does exactly what I'm saying, I'm basically inspired by that11:38
welshbyteright, i see11:38

Simon80I don't think it's right to make that decision though, it's up to the users whether they want to boycott these things or not, Ubuntu shouldn't force them11:40
Simon80I mean, unless it wants to be like Fedora11:41
Simon80it's between compromising on this stuff, or not being a completely viable replacement for windows11:41
jribvifm's postinst script always returns error exit status 1.  Here's the script: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21749/ .  Adding "exit 0" as the last line seems to fix things.  But, 1) I'm not so sure this is the right way to generate help tags after reading http://yacoob.dnsalias.net/sakwa/vim-policy.txt .  What is the right way? 2) since this program isn't a vim add-on but just a file manager that emulates vim, should it be adding help files to vim?11:42

Simon80doesn't seem like a logical idea, no11:43
Simon80but I'm just some guy11:43
jribthanks some guy11:44
Simon80lol12:01
Simon80that's just my opinion, I mean12:01
crimsunjrib: have you checked whether vim-tiny actually is capable of handling that postinst?12:01
crimsunit seems like that postinst needs to check a bit more than just the existence of /usr/bin/vim12:03
jribcrimsun: that's probably true as well.  Making vim point to vim.tiny makes the script fail as well, though it succeeds if I add "exit 0" as the last line.  Is adding "exit 0" as the last line wrong?  I don't really understand why it exits with 1 whether it's vim.tiny or vim.full that's getting called12:05
crimsune.g., `update-alternatives --list vim' or `readlink /etc/alternatives/vim'12:05
crimsunwell, does the postinst succeed with vim and vim-full?12:05
jribno, it fails12:06
jribbut, I run: sudo /usr/bin/vim -ec ":helptags /etc/vim/doc/ | :quit"    myself and get no output12:06
TheMusoHey all.12:06
jribcrimsun: oh, I do get lots of error output with vim.tiny if I run the command directly12:07
crimsunhi, Luke12:07
Hobbseehi TheMuso 12:07
jriboops false alarm, the errors were because of my vimrc...12:08
crimsunhi, MissHidingFromLaunchpad12:08
TheMusoHey Hobbsee. Seems like this early morning thing for you is becoming a habbit.12:08
HobbseeTheMuso: yeah, maybe.  but i do have to go to work tonight, so....12:08
TheMusocrimsun: heh12:08
Hobbseecrimsun: *grin*12:08
ajmitchTheMuso: it's not 3am though12:08
crimsunjrib: so what's the verdict?12:08
TheMusoajmitch: heh12:09
Hobbseeit seems i shouldnt have replied to that thread at all, then12:09
=== ajmitch wonders which thread this is
Hobbseelaunchpad users ml12:09
ajmitchworrying12:09
jribcrimsun: the postinst script fails (returns exit status 1) with vim.full as well as vim.tiny .  But the '/usr/bin/vim -esc blah blah' command succeeds if I run it directly using both vim.tiny and vim.full12:10
=== Hobbsee goes back to being a green alien.
ajmitchHobbsee: you do that so well12:11
Hobbseeajmitch: indeed.12:11
jribcrimsun: by "succeed" I meant fails but has no output apparently...12:11
crimsunwhat does `echo $?' give you?12:12
jrib112:13
crimsunso it didn't succeed at all12:13
jribright, except the tags are generated12:13
jribanyway, I think the solution is to use "helpztags" command like vim-latexsuite does or to just get rid of these help files since the program is not actually related to vi, it just emulates the keys12:14
